By Adam Stocker
Real Madrid face Manchester City at Santiago Bernabeau on Wednesday, Feb. 26. Here’s all the info you need to watch this Champions League match.
In one of the premier matchups of the Champions League round of 16, Real Madrid host Manchester City at the Santiago Bernabeau. Real Madrid finished second to Paris Saint-Germain in the group stage. While the Citizens cruised to first in their group.
Real Madrid slipped to second in La Liga’s table after losing to Levante in their last game. Prized summer addition Eden Hazard suffered a broken ankle against Levante and will miss a significant amount of time. Manager Zinedine Zidane will turn to either Gareth Bale or Vinicius Junior to replace Hazard in the starting XI. Karim Benzema will be the focus of Madrid’s attack on Wednesday. The French striker leads all Madrid players with 18 goals in all competitions. While Real’s attack players get all of the attention, the club has been extremely good defensively. Between Madrid’s 31 games in La Liga and the Champions League, Real have conceded only 25 goals and have kept 13 clean sheets.
It may be now or never for Manchester City to capture the only title that has eluded them. The Citizens are facing a two-year ban from the Champions League for financial fair play violations. In the Premier League, City are a distant second to Liverpool but have an extremely talented team capable of winning the Champions League. The Citizens are among the best attacking teams in Europe. Sergio Aguero, Gabriel Jesus, and Raheem Sterling have combined for 58 goals in all competitions. While Kevin De Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez have combined for 33 assists.
